How to Draw a Horse for Kids

Step 1.


Draw two circles, one for the head, and one for the back end of the body. Connect the two shapes with one line, and draw in the facial guideline vertically in the middle.

Step 2.


You will sketch out the shape of the horse's head and face structure like you see here, and be sure to draw in the ears as well.

Step 3.


Draw in the two oval shaped eyes, make some nostril holes, and then begin drawing out the horse's mane which is full on top, and curled in the front.

Step 4.


Now you can begin drawing out the shape of the horse's body like you see here. Notice how the neck is wide and thick like so.

Step 5.


Using the body shape you drew here, you can begin drawing out the nub like legs, all around. When that is done you can draw out the horse's tail, and then move to step six.

Step 6.


Finish drawing out the mane like you see here, and notice how it's short and blowing to the left.

Step 7.


Add some color in the eyes, and then draw out the lining to separate the hooves from the legs. Erase the lines and shapes that you drew in step one to clean up your incredibly cute horse.

Step 8.


This is the end result. Now you can go ahead and color it in so you can call it complete. I do hope you enjoyed this tutorial on how to draw a horse for kids.

Description: Since I already said what I had to say in the video tutorial I uploaded on "how to draw a horse for kids", I’m just going to give you a brief description or pass over some of my comments. I had a lot of fun drawing this horse, and one of my favorite aspects of the design is the head. The horse’s mane flows nicely around and on the face, and the colors I chose for the hair and body are absolutely perfect. The white stripe in the middle of the forehead and the white around the horse’s nose also makes the color scheme supreme. I am really happy with the way this horse came out, which means if I like it, you will too. Have fun teaching yourself how to draw a horse for kids.
